Ah yes, the world we live in eh? I could never get those damn butters with my stiff board (the board I used for free ride/kickers). So yes, I see how ass-backwards that is but it is just my learning style.

Roundabout- it was only my front foot (hadn't taken it out in 20 or so runs). I also tightened it wayyyy to much, adding 1 extra click per run (I think I got it tightened all of the way). So it was about 95% human error, but it did still take 10 or so minutes of struggling, worth it though! But that is getting specific, in general it is just annoying that the top has that little plastic mechanism to unstrap fast, but the bottom doesn't. A tip to whoever is having that problem, push down the front too as your pulling up the back. It goes smoother that way.
